Spring Cleaning To-Do’s For A Well-Maintained Home

As spring rolls around each year, it’s common to start cleaning your home—getting rid of the winter grime and preparing for summertime. An important part of this yearly cleaning ritual is looking at your home repair and maintenance needs. Whether it includes gutter cleaning, pressure washing stained siding, or an HVAC unit check-up, creating a spring home maintenance checklist can help you keep your home looking and feeling fresh this spring. A Trademasters’ membership can help you figure out what you need on your checklist and schedule them out, letting you focus on the other parts of your cleaning. 

Outdoor Maintenance

Depending on where you live, you may have been hit with snow storms, heavy rain, thunderstorms and more. With intense weather, you may be experiencing roof damage or leakage, stained or ripped siding, a dirty driveway, and even window damage. Springtime and spring cleaning are the perfect reminder to get those storm damage repairs done and other issues fixed before the busyness of summertime sets in. 

Roofing and Siding

Access to roof repair and siding services are included with a Trademasters membership, letting you relax and know your house’s facade is being taken care of. Full roof replacements for asphalt shingles, barring any significant damage, should be done every fifteen to twenty years. To make sure your roof lasts that long, you can schedule yearly maintenance or inspection in the spring, allowing you to better avoid unexpected emergency roof services. Your home’s siding should last at least twenty years as well if maintained properly. Siding services aren’t limited to replacement; however, painting your siding is recommended for certain types of siding about every four years, especially if it’s stained. A fresh coat of paint can give your home a boost and help kickstart other home improvement ideas like adding an outdoor kitchen to take your summer barbeques to the next level. 

Gutter Cleaning and Pressure Washing

Along with checking in on your roof and siding, guttering cleaning and pressure washing can help clean up the outside of your home. Pressure washing your home and driveway should be a yearly occurrence, or more frequent if your driveway is heavily trafficked. Gutter cleaning is also something that should be regularly happening in the spring and fall. These two simple maintenance tasks are made even easier with a Trademasters’ home maintenance membership, letting you schedule them yearly so you can enjoy the spring weather on your days off. 

Indoor Maintenance

Once you make your way through the outdoor part of your spring maintenance checklist, it’s time to tackle inside your home. Spring cleaning tips for inside are usually helping you organize your fridge or go through your closet, but for maintenance it looks a little different. Spring home maintenance tips include having an HVAC inspection, getting some interior painting done, and potentially a window replacement or two if necessary. 

HVAC Inspection

As warmer weather moves in, it’s imperative to make sure your HVAC is working properly and ready to switch over to air conditioning from heating. Regular inspection, repair, and maintenance for your HVAC unit is important to make sure yours is working efficiently and can last up to twenty-five years. Consider scheduling a twice annual HVAC inspection, one for the spring and one for the fall, to stay on top of it and avoid leaks or weather-related issues.  These Seasonal Refresh visits are included with the Essential and Ultimate levels of membership.

Interior Painting and Window Replacement

Another way to spruce up your spring cleaning is to paint a room a new color or replace your windows. Spicing up your living room with an accent wall or trying a light blue on your cream bedroom walls can add a fresh, clean touch to your home. Couple that with new windows and you’ve boosted your home’s value too. Windows can show wear quickly and contribute to a lack of energy efficiency. To make sure your windows aren’t going to skyrocket your energy bill this summer, have them evaluated and replaced if necessary. 

Whatever spring cleaning you intend to do, make sure you include home maintenance checks and repairs too. With a Trademasters membership, you have access to all of these services and more, making scheduling inspections and maintenance easier than ever.
